It is easy to subtract fractions by converting them into decimals first. To convert is numerator divided by denominator. So, 10 1/2 would be 10.5 and 8 3/4 would be 8. 75. Now, you can subtract them. Start at the hundredth place so subtract 5 from 0 ( because 10.5 can also be 10.50) so it would be 5. Next, 5 -7 ( so you borrow 1 from 10 so 5 would become 15 and 10 is 9) is 7. Last, subtract your whole number. 9 - 8 = 1. So, your answer would be 1. 75. To convert it to fraction, you need to write it as 1 75/ 100 and simplify it which is 1 3/4. So, Carla's plant is 1 3/4 inches taller than Yolanda's plant Hope it helps!!!!

In a 30° - 60° - 90° right triangle, the hypotenuse has a length of 8. what is the length of the longer leg?

Tatiana [17]

Sin 30° = 1/2 = x/8
then x = 4

sin 60° = √3/2 = y/8
then y = 4√3

so the length of the longer leg is 4√3

Ignore the stuff around it ,could someone explain me this?

Answer:

The lines blue and green are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope of the blue line

we have the points

(-1,-3) and (0,3)

substitute

$m=\frac{3+3}{0+1}$

$m=\frac{6}{1}=6$

step 2

Find the slope of the red line

we have the points

(3,-3) and (4,2)

substitute

$m=\frac{2+3}{4-3}$

$m=\frac{5}{1}=5$

step 3

Find the slope of the green line

we have the points

(-4,-1) and (2,-2)

substitute

$m=\frac{-2+1}{2+4}$

$m=-\frac{1}{6}$

step 4

Compare the slopes

Blue line ----> $m=6$

Red line ----. $m=5$

Green line ---> $m=-\frac{1}{6}$

so

The slope of the blue line and the green line are opposite reciprocal ( their product is equal to -1)

therefore

The lines blue and green are perpendicular
